you mentioned governor romney does have some debate right now. the republican base is energized right now, so this is how his campaign views this. paul ryan can continue that momentum or he can do something that chokes off that momentum. >> there was a lot of pressure in 2008 when biden was going against palin and he had to come off as not being condescending, not seeming sort of dismissive of her. it's a very different dynamic. >> yeah. he didn't want to appear patronizing at all during that debate. he had to really watch himself, and he's told me since then that that was sort of the hardest thing for him to do. he doesn't have any of those constraints this time around. paul ryan, chairman of the house budget committee, experienced legislator, i think he's going to take the gloves off. in talking to the biden folks today, one of them said you can expect the vice president to draw a sharp contrast. when the campaign starts talking about sharp contrast, you know that he's going to go on the attack. >> he's pretty -- he's obviously known for off th

now it shows mitt romney with some movement post-debate. so there's a little bit of concern with these latest numbers that have come out now. again, they believe they still have a little bit of an edge in the key battleground states, places like ohio, virginia, colorado and that's where this race will matter most. >> dan, i'm curious, on the campaign trail since the debate, we saw president obama the day after kind of using lines that i guess a lot of his supporters wished he used during the debate. how has the tone been different on the campaign trail since the debate in the last week? >> it really has been much more aggressive. we saw that from the president in wisconsin. i was with him in ohio as well, where the president came out swinging, hitting mitt romney on taxes. you heard him repeat at every stop the whole big bird line, he even repeated that over the weekend at a couple campaign events in los angeles, brought up the 47%, which is something the president did not touch on at all during the debate. but also, you see in the campaign

mitt romney had the luxury of preparation endlessly for this debate. this is his full-time job as running for president. the president, you know, actually has a full-time job and that is running the country. he was rusty and it showed. mitt romney had had 20 debates this year. was very well prepared. and that showed too. but i do think president obama was able to do the contrast. i loved when he looked directly to the camera and talked to the american people about his plan in protecting the middle class versus mitt romney's but he certainly missed some opportunities. >> here is the thing. when it comes to issues, a lot of people are talking about what wasn't mentioned of the debate like romney's 47% comment, romney's taxes, bain capital. why didn't the president mention these things? >> that's exactly right, carol, and what i was about to say is that he absolutely missed some opportunities. i don't understand why he didn't bring up the 47%. i don't know understand why he didn't focus on bain and i don't understand why he did not go back very hard on mi

last week, it was, you know, doomsday for romney, then the debate happened. who knows what it's going to be next week. is it still wide open? >> i think it's moved from a race that was heavily tilted toward obama, the president was just beating romney as a campaigner, and the debate has now made it much more of a horse race, and we're likely to see fluidity right to the end and the win may go because we see these numbers move three, four points on a debate, it may be a couple points on the unemployment numbers. the win may go to the guy who has the last big play. who has the last big favorable play. i don't think these debates are fool's gold. i know cornell wouldn't have said that if obama had won. i think they were really important turning point but it's turned it into a much, much closer race. >> cornell, ari, david, thank you. fascinating stuff. >> thank you. >>> let us know what you think. we're on facebook. follow me on twitter right now. >>> coming up, joe biden and paul ryan facing off on thursday. we look at whether the stakes were higher than four y

it doesn't play very well in presidential debates. he'll be debating against mitt romney. mitt is really solid, a very smooth debater. every time the president has a pause, people might think the president doesn't know what he's going to say next. he's not prepared for the question. that's the problem in the debate. >> fine line between pausing so everyone can understand what you're talking about and i suppose pausing too long. >> oh, sure. it is also one of his strengths. he's a very thoughtful person. so if you like him, you'll see the pauses as him being thoughtful. if you don't like him, you'll think he needs a teleprompter. >> mitt romney, we both know debaters from both parties occasionally like to dodge questions. is there an art to do so gracefully, check this out. >> you asked me an entirely different question. >> beats me. don't know. where are we at, john? >> what do you see there? >> that was a disaster. that was south carolina, i believe. he had two terrible debates in south carolina. the only two i said he lost. and he in fact ended up losing that primary to

if romney turns in a strong debate, you hope you have an economy ad that helps governor romney build on any momentum out of the debate. number three, both campaigns and friends, democratic super pakz and republican super pacs have to make tough decisions over the next three weeks, five weeks left in the campaign, but over the next three to four weeks you have to make decisions not only where to spend money and spend more money, but where to take resources out. that's the toughest decision to campaign. not necessarily where to spend, it is where not to spend. when you have a big buy like this, then you poll, you see if you're moving the numbers. and in some of states you'll keep the ads, some states, watch in a week, ask have they pulled out? that will tell you something. >> crunch time indeed, john king, thank you for us in denver. no pressure as millions, millions will be watching tomorrow night's first presidential debate. all comes down to the two men on stage, the public will perceive one of them is the winner as we have seen in history, one line, one line can make all the differ
